Ah, the dance of the titans! Paul Barron, that wily wordsmith, has cast his gaze upon the XRP ETF saga, and lo, he declares: “BlackRock missed this one-the battle is on now!” 🏹✨ Yes, the mighty BlackRock, that leviathan of finance, has been outmaneuvered by the sprightly Canary Capital, who seized the XRP crown with a flourish. 🦜💼
BlackRock’s Blunder: A Tale of Hubris and Ripple 🌊
In a tweet that echoes through the halls of crypto, Barron quipped, “BlackRock missed this one – the battle is on now! $XRP.” Oh, the irony! The king of ETFs, the master of Bitcoin’s rise, has been blindsided by the humble XRP. 🥊💥 Was it hubris? Or merely a strategic misstep? Perhaps BlackRock was too busy counting its Ethereum gains to notice the Ripple tide swelling. 🌊😏
Blackrock missed this one – the battle is on now! $XRP
– PaulBarron (@paulbarron) November 13, 2025
BlackRock, the Goliath of asset management, launched the first spot Bitcoin ETF in January 2024, a move that shook the crypto world. Billions flowed in, and the stage was set for institutional dominance. Yet, XRP? A mere afterthought, it seems. 🧐💸
But Canary Capital, that cunning canary in the coal mine, saw the opportunity and pounced. On November 13, 2025, the XRPC ETF debuted on Nasdaq, a beacon of regulated exposure to XRP. The launch? A triumph! Within 30 minutes, $25 million in volume-a slap in the face to the skeptics. 😲💰
Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas, ever the analyst, proclaimed XRPC the “biggest ETF launch of 2025.” First-day volume? $58 million. Even the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) was left in the dust. 🏎️💨
Will BlackRock Swallow Its Pride? 🤔
Dom Kwok, the oracle of TradingView, had foretold this XRP frenzy back in August. “Among the most popular ever,” he said, and lo, it came to pass. Now, he hints that BlackRock may yet join the fray, tail between its legs. 🐕🦺💼
If BlackRock does launch an XRP ETF, it will be a capitulation of sorts-a nod to the growing institutional embrace of XRP. Prices may soar, and the crypto world will rejoice. But for now, XRP’s price dances to its own tune: up 3.6% post-launch, then a dip to $2.2, down 8.4%. The market, as ever, is a fickle mistress. 🎢💔
So, BlackRock, will you rise to the challenge? Or will you let Canary Capital sing the XRP anthem alone? The world watches, popcorn in hand. 🍿🌍
